Test Execution
When the test design activity has finished, the test cases are executed.
Both black-box test results as well as white-box test results are collected.
This is achieved by using the test tool purify (see 12).
The test design activity must be completed.

Doing the tests should be easy after a good test design. While conducting test, it is important to have an open mind and seek for problems that may occur. It is important that the test can be executed automatically.

At first, the code that must be executed is compiled and linked using purify .
This tool will instrument the software to add extra memory checking.
Hereafter the code is executed. This will result in two log files. These log files are analyzed by the
related scanners (see page for examples).
No warnings are issued by purify
